Definitions
- This invention relates to resistance welding apparatus comprising first and second electrode wheels arranged to cooperate to form resistance welds in a series of workpieces and is concerned with monitoring the operation of such apparatus.
- the invention is particularly, but not exclusively, concerned with apparatus for welding longitudinal seams in the bodies of containers such as are conventionally used for packaging food and aerosol products.
- each of the electrode wheels is prone to be mounted with some eccentricity. If the eccentricity of either electrode wheel is excessive, it will have an adverse effect on weld quality. It is therefore desirable to monitor the eccentricity of each wheel.
- each electrode wheel may suffer damage. If such damage is excessive it can have an adverse effect on weld quality. It is thus important to monitor each electrode wheel for the presence of surface irregularities.
- weld thickness can indicate weld quality and also errors in the welding process or settings in the welding apparatus.
- resistance welding apparatus comprising first and second electrode wheels arranged to cooperate to form resistance welds in a series of workpieces, the first and second electrode wheels being mounted for displacement relative to each other, means for sensing the relative displacement between the first and second electrode wheels, said sensing means being arranged to produce an output signal which varies with time as the wheels rotate, means for processing the output signal, and a detecting means for detecting the rotational position of one of said electrode wheels; wherein the processing means is responsive to the output of the detecting means, the processing means has stored therein a profile trace representative of the surface profile of said one electrode wheel, and the processing means is arranged to subtract said profile trace from the output signal of the displacement sensing means in phase with the rotational position of said one electrode wheel to produce a corrected output signal.

- the output signal from the sensing means can provide useful data. For example, if the components in the output signal from the sensing means can provide useful data relating to the eccentricity and surface irregularity of one of the electrode wheels are removed at a time when the wheels are rotating without welding being performed, the output signal provides data on the ecentricity and surface irregularity of the other electrode wheel. If the components in the output signal relating to the eccentrcity and surface irregularity of one, or preferably both, of the electrode wheels are removed at a time when welding is being performed, the output signal provides data on weld thickness.
- a method of monitoring resistance welding apparatus having first and second electrode wheels mounted for displacement relative to each other and arranged to form welds in workpieces, said method comprising the steps of: sensing relative displacement between the first and second electrode wheels to produce an output signal which varies with time as the wheels rotate, detecting the rotational position of one of said electrode wheels, storing a profile trace representative of the surface profile of said one electrode wheel, and subtracting said profile trace from the output signal in phase with the rotational position of said one electrode wheel to produce a corrected output signal.
- a method of monitoring resistance welding apparatus having first and second electrode wheels mounted for displacement relative to each other and arranged to form welds in workpieces, said method comprising the steps of: sensing relative displacement between the first and second electrode wheels to produce an output signal which varies with time as the wheels rotate, detecting the rotational position of the first electrode wheel, detecting the rotational position of the second electrode wheel, storing first and second profile traces representative, respectively, of the surface profiles of the first and second electrode wheels, subtracting the first profile trace from the output signal in phase with the rotational position of the first electrode wheel to produce a partially corrected output signal, and substracting the second profile trace from the partially corrected output signal in phase with the rotation position of the second electrode wheel to produce a fully corrected output signal.
- the apparatus is basically a welding machine manufactured by Soudronic AG, Switzerland, under their series designation FBB, but modified in accordance with the present invention. (The present invention may also be used with other welding machines which use electrode wheels).
- the apparatus comprises a lower electrode wheel 10 and an upper electrode wheel 12 mounted, respectively, for rotation about a pair of horizontal axes 14,16.
- the wheel 10 is mounted for rotation on the free end of a rigid but cantilevered arm indicated by reference numeral 18.
- the wheel 12 is mounted for rotation on one end of an arm 20, the other end of which is mounted to swing about a fixed axis 22. Thus, the wheel 12 can be displaced bodily towards and away from the wheel 10.
- the arm 20 is biased in a clockwise directon by a pin 42 and a spring 44.
- the upper end of spring 44 is held by a cap, not shown, whose position may be adjusted to control the biasing force applied to arm 20.
- the lower end of spring 44 bears on pin 42 and the lower end of pin 42 bears on arm 20 to apply the biasing force.
- a scale is formed on pin 42 and the position of the top of the cap on this scale provides a visual indication of the biasing force. It is to be noted that pin 42 follows the movement of axis 16.
- the wheel 12 is itself driven by a motor, not shown.
- a sacrificial electrode in the form of a copper wire passes through the apparatus following a complex path, this path including passage around each of the wheels 10,12. As the wire passes around the wheel 10, it applies a torque which ensures that this wheel rotates.
- a series of current pulses are passed between the wheels 10,12.
- the apparatus shown in Figure 1 is designed for welding longitudinal seams in metal container bodies. Rectangular metal blanks are supplied to a position to the left of wheel 10 and are bent into a tubular form so as to encircle arm 18. In this tubular form, the longitudinally extending margins of each blank are overlapped with each other. The tubular blanks are fed to the right along the axis of arm 18 so that the overlapping margins are fed into the nip betwen wheels 10,12. A tubular blank in this position is indicated by reference numeral 24. As the overlapping margins pass through the nip between wheels 10,12, a weld 26 is formed, thereby producing a container body having a welded longitudinal seam. An example of such a body is indicated by reference numeral 28.
- each container body passes through the machine in series with a small gap betwen each adjacent pair.
- a synchronizing pulse is generated.
- small variations occur in the displacement between the axes 14,16, these variations in displacement corresponding to small variations in weld thickness.
- the gap between them causes a temporary slight displacement of the axes 14,16 towards each other.
- Figure 3 there is shown a train of synchronizing pulses, each pulse being indicated by reference numeral 30.
- Figure 3 also shows a graph 32 indicating the variation in displacement between axes 14,16 as welding proceeds, this displacement providing an approximate indication of weld thickness.
- the displacements caused by the gaps between successive container bodies are indicated by reference numeral 34.
- each container body has a length L and there is a gap g between successive bodies.
- the apparatus includes a Sangamo type AG 2.5 linear displacement transducer 40.
- the transducer 40 senses displacement of the pin 42 and hence displacement of axis 16.
- the apparatus also includes a pair of pick-ups 46,48 which respetively detect the passage of markers 50,52 located on the peripheries of wheel 12,10. Thus, pick-ups 50,52 detect the rotational positions of wheels 12,10.
- the output of transducer 40 is supplied to the input of a Sangamo type C31 signal conditioning circuit 54.
- the output of circuit 54 is supplied to the input of an analog to digital converter 56.
- the synchronizing pulses 30 shown in Figure 3 are supplied on a line 57 to the input of an opto-isolator 58, the output of which is connected to the input of a Schmitt trigger circuit 59.
- the outputs of pick-ups 46 and 48 are supplied on lines 60 and 61 to the inputs of two further opto-isolators 62,63, the outputs of which are supplied to the inputs of two further Schmitt trigger circuits 64,65.
- the outputs of analog to digital converter 56 and Schmitt trigger circuits 59,64,65 are supplied to respective inputs of a computer 68.
- Computer 68 has associated therewith a display 70, a reader 72 for storage devices such as floppy discs, and a printer 74.
- each of the wheels 10,12 will be mounted with a small degree of eccentricity relative to its associated axis 14,16 and there will be irregulaities in their surfaces.
- the wheels 10,12 are normally machined to reduce their surface irregularities.
- These eccentricities and irregularities prevent the output of transducer 40 being used directly to measure accurately weld thickness.
- a method will now be described for measuring the eccentricity and surface irregularities of each of the wheels 10,12. Two methods will then be described for removing from the output signal of transducer 40 the components which are due to these eccentricities and surface irregularities.
- the apparatus In order to measure the eccentricities and surface irregularities of the wheels 10,12, the apparatus is operated without feeding metal blanks to the nip between the wheels.
- the resulting output signal from transducer 40 is divided in computer 68 in two two series of individual traces.
- each individual trace represents the variation in displacement between axes 14,16 for a single rotation of wheel 10.
- the individual traces of the first series are then averaged to produce a first averaged trace.
- the lower and upper wheels 10,12 have different circumferences. Consequently, the components in the output signal caused by the surface irregularities and ecentricity of the wheel 12 will be largely removed by the averaging operation. Therefore, the first averaged trace is a trace of the profile, and hence of the eccentricity and surface irrgularities, of the wheel 10.
- each individual trace represents the variation in displacement between axes 14,16 for a single rotation of wheel 12.
- the individual traces of the second series are averaged to produce a second averaged trace and this second averaged trace represnts the profile of wheel 12.
- the two averaged traces may be displayed on display 70.
- the two averaged traces are shown as polar plots. Examples of such polar plots for wheels 12 and 10 are shown respectively in Figures 4 and 5.
- the centre of the axis is shown as point O
- the centre of the wheel is shown as point E
- the surface profile is shown by curve P.
- the distance between points O and E is the eccentricity of the wheel.
- the eccentricity and surface profile are shown on a greatly enlarged scale but nearly the whole of the radius of the wheel is omitted.
- the profile curve P is contracted towards point E.
- the irregularities in the surface profile may be seen in each of these figures.
- surface damage is indicated by arrow 76.
- the computer 68 subtracts the trace of the profile of wheel 12 from the output of transducer 40. This subtraction is performed in real time and reference signals from pick-up 46 are used to ensure that the subtraction is performed in phase with the actual position of wheel 12. As a result of the subtration, there is produced a partially corrected output signal.
- the trace of the profile of wheel 10 is hen subtrated from the partially corrected output signal. This subtraction is performed in phase with the actual position of wheel 10 using reference signals from pick-up 48. As a result of this subtraction, there is produced a fully corrected output signal.
- FIG 8 there is shown the output signal of transducer 40 in its uncorreted form.
- the output signal In the left hand half of Figure 4 there is shown the output signal with both wheels 10,12 rotating but before the first container reaches the nip between the two wheels.
- the output signal In the right hand half of Figure 4, there is shown the output signal as a series of containers pass between the wheels. The substantial displacement which occurs as the first container body enters the nip between the two wheels is shown by the vertical line 80. The length of a single container body is indicated by arrow L.
- there is considerable random variation in the output signal and, as has been explained, this is due largely to irregularities in the profiles of the two wheels 10,12 and their eccentricities.
- FIG. 9 there is shown a graph of the output signal after it has been partially corrected by subtracting the profile of wheel 12.
- the left hand side shows the output signal before the first container body reaches the wheels 10,12
- the right hand half shows the output signal as a series of container bodies pass betwen the wheels
- the transition between the two is indicated by reference numral 80.
- the random variations in the output signal are much less than in Figure 8.
- the partially corrected output signal as illustrated in Figure 9 may provide a satisfactory indiation of weld thickness and thereby avoid the need of performing the second subtraction.
- FIG 10 there is shown a graph of the output signal after it has been fully corrected by substracting the profile of wheel 10. As may be seen particularly in the left hand side of Figure 10, the residual random variations in the fully corrected output signal are minimal. The variations which can be seen in the right hand half of Figure 10 largely represent actual variations in weld thickness.
- the results obtained may be displayed graphically, thus providing the operator of the welding apparatus with information on the welds being produced. Values for the average weld thickness along the whole can length or the thickness at a particular position may be also displayed. If the thickness falls outside acceptable limits, a warning may be given or operation of the welding apparatus may be stopped automatically. Since data is produced for each individual can body, this method may be used to detect welding faults in individual can bodies.
- Figure 11 is a graph of weld thickness plotted against the amount of overlap between the margins in each container body prior to welding. This overlap, in turn, is controlled by settings in the welding apparatus. The data for graph 11 were obtained by using a variety of machine settings. An overlap in the range 0.4 to 0.6 mm is regarded as acceptable. As may be seen, the thickness correlates closely with the overlap. Consequently, if the average thickness of the welds in container bodies departs from a desired value, this may be readily corrected by changing the setting so as to vary the overlap in the required direction.
- each container body passes through the nip between the electrode wheels 10,12, the whole of the outer surface is engaged by a set of support wheels.
- These support wheels are mounted on a carrier, the longitudinal position of which may be varied to obtain a correct setting. If its position departs from the correct setting, then errors occur in the welds.
- FIG 12 there is shown a series of traces 91 to 94 obtained by the second method. Between each pair of traces, the carrier holding the support wheels was moved a short distance downstream. In Figure 12, the length of a single can is indicated by arrow L. In trace 91, the weld exhibits a slight, but acceptable, thickening at the beginning and end of the container body. This thickening is caused by the carrier being located slightly too far upstream. The variations in thickness indicated by traces 92 and 93 are satisfactory and these traces represent optimum positions for the carrier. In trace 94, the weld has insufficient thickness at the beginning and end of the container body and this is caused by locating the carrier too far downstream. Thus, the present invention can be used to set the carrier to an optimum position.
